Breaking Chains

How GOOD are you at RECEIVING? Are you open or closed off to it?Is there even room in your life to receive ALL that you are created for?Or are you repelling the love + affection you crave, the prosperity you are designed for, the VISION that wants to call you and come through you?Today’s episode is the 1st of a 3 part series on the ART of RECEIVING and GIVING and it’s inspired by so many men and women  I work with who come to me because they are terrified to receive. That’s right. They are terrible at receiving and as a result they are burned out, stressed out, overextended - resentful - and jealous of other people's relationships and lives. Truth is they are so full of ANXIETY + FEAR + TENSION that there isn’t any room for abundant receiving to happen in their lives. They literally repel gifts, love, opportunities because they are addicted to fighting for it, needing to control the process and are simply uncomfortable with receiving - love, joy, fun into their lives!They get a momentary hit of ‘goodness’, only for it to quickly be pulled away from them.They feel like they haven’t earned it - so they sabotage it. Or, every time someone wants to ‘give’ them something, they tense up, recoil and wonder what the catch is?Sound familiar? Then this conversation is for you my friends.Awareness is the first step to change.AND if you’re already pretty good at this receiving thing, you can open yourself up to RECEIVE even more. That’s the STATE of being abundant.In This Episode I Unpack:Living from a state of abundance How to accept the gifts that have been given to youWhat our Breathing patterns tell about how good you are at receiving abundantly or pushing energy awayBeing a steward of the resources God has given us. ASKING vs DEMANDING for what you desireEmotions that block receivingMaking the SWITCH to a state of RECEIVERSHIPWhy Intention Matters and you can’t bypass this!Check out these timestamps!6:07- We must consistently empty ourselves in order to receive fully. 15:40- Are you asking for help or are you trying to take it all on yourself? 18:55- Emotions + Receiving 25:27- 3 Steps to Transformation - Awareness + Integration + EmbodimentEnjoying the SHOW?

I believe a RICH LIFE is one where we get to experience the fullness of all that God has designed for us. We experience depths, layers and richness, or abundance in all arenas, not just the financial one.Today’s episode is inspired by a 1:1 trip to Tulum I recently went on with my 18 year old daughter that got me meditating on just how grateful I was that I had intentionally curated the life I have today.I started a tradition years ago of going on solo trips with my kids as a way to spend more quality time together post my divorce and to cultivate deeper connections with each of them. I realized how much they thrived when I spent time with them 1:1 so it became a regular thing and I’ve never looked back. It truly has ENRICHED all of our lives.This is just one of many decisions I made early on to INVEST in the soil that mattered to me - my relationships.In today’s show, I share why I believe we are not here to create our lives, but rather to choose HOW we want to experience creation and all that is available to us. Will we choose to only see what’s in front of us and what meets the eyes?Will we choose to wait until the ‘perfect time’ or a ‘better time’ until we can….Or we will choose to tap into the multitude of LAYERS Life HAS for us? In this episode I unpack ...Choosing our Life ExperienceCreating the SPACE for cultivating relationshipsIntentional focus days + weeksScheduling chunks of space vs time blockingUpgrading our relationship with TIMEWhat’s working for me right now - my intentional practicesTo learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Is there really room for MORE than enough? Is there such a thing as living a life in FLOW or is it just a pipe dream, reserved for big wave surfers and extreme athletes?I believe there is absolutely MORE than enough time, energy and space for us to experience full lives from a state of flow but it requires we set the intention to live this way and adjust our pacing IN the pressure. Such has been my life story as I am learning the art of mastering ‘pacing’ to live more intentionally IN the pressure.There is a Good pressure that expands us at a rate our nervous system + energetic body can handle- and then there is the pressure that cracks us open, burns us out + has us constantly in fight/fix mode - stuck in loops of massive growth only to be followed by contractions that take us right back to square one. When we force things, we break things.When we rush things, we miss things.When we try and ‘fit’ things into already full containers, they collapse.Today I am inviting you to STOP the insanity and welcome the ART of PACING - so you can STAY in flow rather than interrupt it.How would you like to live in synchronicity, harmony and experience way more LIFE with way less work?That’s exactly what this episode is aboutIn This Episode I Unpack:We are the ones who make everything hard.Getting out of the way is the KEY.Why PACING is so essential and why most people miss this simple yet incredibly powerful pieceAdjust your PACE and let everything reorganize around you The cost of speeding up vs the benefits of SLOWING Down and honoring natural cyclesThe “Empire” System of Production/Force vs “Heavenly” System of CreationHow to ditch the extra work, a ton of frustration and fights that could easily be avoided! To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Specifically we unpacked what it takes to normalize GREATNESS. At the age of 14, Seth chose his sport and within just six years of that first day in the pool, he became one of the fastest swimmers on Earth. What carried him all the way to the top – was developing the power of his MIND. Along the way, he won 2 National Championships, held the #4 Ranking in the World and was inducted into The Hall of Fame. The impossible… isn’t.I loved everything about today’s conversation! Feeling uncomfortable? -> That's Life -> Life BEGINS at the edge of your comfort zone.Your Results Are Not Your IdentityIt’s amazing how many “Yes” are waiting out there if you are WILLING. In This Episode We Unpack:The Power + Gift of the Mind Patterns  + Micro decisions  that hold us backThe Feedback loop Shifting the mind + our relationship to FailureThe Flow State ProcessAccepting and Normalizing the uncomfortable How to use failure as a feedback loop + Baby steps to a quantum leap. The Power of Uncomfortable Vision Boards Give yourself permission to win.Check out these timestamps!5:20 I encourage you to FAIL8:15 The power of the mind meets the power of the body. 13:40 Looking for patterns in life stories: Expansion + Contraction or Blockages 22:00 Failure isn’t PERSONAL, it’s DATA24:00 The average toddler learning how to walk falls 69 times a day30:30  Accepting what is uncomfortable 40:15 What sets me apart from others is my relationship with failure.  I got more excited from a really bad race than an easy win. 45:40 GPS is our Good Pain System 58:35 Your thoughts become your words, become your actions If you have a dream or vision for your life.

In today’s episode we are talking “Micro Decisions”.Those moment by moment, second by second -choices we make on a daily basis that either MOVE us toward the life we desire or Break us + DISTANCE us from it.Whether we think about it or not, each day is simply a long series of micro-decisions - many of them made unconsciously and trained into our psyche and nervous system.Last episode we discussed the importance of asking a clear + powerful question in order to get a clear and powerful answer.. The next step is the KEY though. What do we CHOOSE  - based on that answer? Do we talk ourselves out of the answer? Do we choose to believe it?Do we freeze, flee, fight or lean in?It takes trust to move forward and TRUST itself doesn’t happen overnight.To trust is a decision.To love is a decision.To enjoy something is a decision.These things are cultivated and nurtured in motion.They are TRAINED into our lives through action andTo act is a decision. Micro Decisions shift EVERYTHING:Our EnergyThe Direction we are going What Opportunities come to us What Doors Open + Close for usWhether we move in Flow or Against Friction28:45 Micro Decisions can cost us dearly - our  Energy + Productivity + Creativity + Life + Joy when they are unconsciously made from a place of fear, anxiety, mistrust, doubt, or disconnection.This Episode Unpacks:The Micro Decisions that we make on a daily basis that MAKE or BREAK us.Making Decisions NOW that move you TOWARDS the Answer. Moving In FAITH.Getting around the immovable obstacles in our lives.Making Micro Decisions based on the moment and not the future. Practical + Tactical Micro Decisions.**********To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

This episode is full of LIFE Changing gems! Today I am opening up my arsenal of secret ‘weapons’ with you… the power of ASKING and asking the RIGHT Questions at the right time. Here’s why:If you ask yourself a Wise + Powerful question,  you’ll get a Wise + Powerful response. If you ask yourself expansive questions rooted in abundance, you’ll get responses and solutions that OPEN up possibility and potential. The same is true the other way.  If you ask a poor question you’ll get a poor answer.One that makes you MORE confused, frustrated, contracted.. You get the point.Todays’ invitation is to activate renewed vision inside you by mastering the art of asking questions. I also address why it’s KEY to ask questions, vs telling others and yourself what to do/think/feel. In this Episode I Unpack:10 Powerful Self Reflection Questions The ENERGY behind the questions we askMoving into a place of CURIOSITY + EXPLORATIONTuning into what is coming up for you in your body + emotionsDoes Seeking validation and security outside yourself really work?CHOOSING how we want to experience the process. Tapping into what you REALLY wantCheck out these timestamps!6:12- The energy behind the questions we ask ourselves.8:55-  Every time we hear a statement our brain automatically wants to agree or disagree.10:24- Those who are Easy Triggered are Easily Offended + Easily Manipulated 11:00- Moving into a place of Curiosity + Exploration 13:08- What do I actually have control over? 18:30- What if it gets to be an adventure- Anticipating a difficult situationUntil next time, Remember ...You believe what you speak out loud.  Out of the heart speaks the mouth…. Are you speaking words that amplify your life or suck the life away? What’s INSIDE your heart these days? If you loved today's episode , be sure to connect with me at @thechristinejewell over on Instagram!  I would love if you would share this episode on Instagram !

How do we move forward boldly, knowing we are moving in the right direction? I often get asked some version of this question How do I know when I am moving IN STEP with the Spirit or fighting against it? How can I TELL if this (decision/thing) is God’s will for my life or not? In Today’s Episode, I Unpack:* Leaning IN to BOLD action* How to know you are moving in the right direction* Identifying your God given gifts and how to get them out into the world.* Flow state, Divine timing + Divine Order* Checking the seeds of your heart before you move * The gift of Decisiveness* HONOURING what you’ve been given instead of doubting it.* Season of trials as teachers * of how to Manage our giftsTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight. - Proverbs 3:6 - To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Today I am joined by my husband, Mark as we dive into the topic of INTEGRITY.Not the typical definition we are all familiar with: ”to be honest + have strong moral principles,  but the one listed here: Integrity: The State of Being WHOLE or UNDIVIDED. Soundness. Completeness.Together, we are unpacking the conversation around WHAT is required to get things in “ORDER” or a state of WHOLENESS - internally and externally - and WHY this is SO essential as we move from one season of life into another. It is the real WORK that ensues as we step into more authentic versions of ourselves, as we commit to engaging in more powerful + meaningful work, and choose to strengthen our intimate relationships - growing together FOR something greater than us.Most leaders would say they STAND for:NOT Settling. Playing Full Out. Constantly GROWING and evolving themselves and others.AND if we are going to live that way from a place of EXPANSIVENESS (not force) - that comes with the continual  Releasing of the past and things no longer needed, Getting RAW and REAL about what they have been tolerating as standardsRe-organizing their resources: time, money, energy, talents/gifts Recalibrating their systems as they ‘put’ their lives back into proper ORDER for the upcoming SEASON.. As we go through these transformations, it is undeniable that our level of INTEGRITY (wholeness + alignment) WILL be challenged.  We will be shown all the places we have been making decisions from FEAR and reaction.We will be shown all the places where our PRIDE is attached and has been running the show.We will be shown the behaviors and patterns we have allowed to infiltrate our homes/businesses/relationships….. And it will be OUR responsibility to set things right in order to MOVE forward.Getting into INTEGRITY brings CLARITY and FLOW back to the game where there has been mental fog, forced production and battle after battle.The CLEARER we are on who we are + what we stand for + what we no longer stand for in our lives, the FASTER your life will organize in ALL areas of your life. In today’s episode, we unpack:What Integrity means to us right nowThe PROCESS of Transformative WorkThe POWER of DECLARATIONS Cleaning up Impurities that rise to the surfaceSUSTAINING the new life you WANTThe SEASON of Re-aligning Creating INTEGRITY + ALIGNMENT in your businessCOMPASSION + GRACE through the processFEMININE + MASCULINE Integrity  LEt’s DIVE in!To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Today we are UNPACKING what it means to be a Conscious CO-CREATOR, vs ‘the’ creator of your reality.After nearly 20 years in the coaching space, The most common theme I see with clients who are stuck / rehashing the past over and over is Most people LACK CLARITY on their VISION WHAT they are here to create Most people are completely DISCONNECTED and therefore DISORIENTED.They are DISCONNECTED from their God Given DESIRES. Therefore they are UNCLEAR on WHAT they actually want and are called to create/build in this season of life.In this episode we will unpack:10 STEPS to Conscious Co-CreationCreating from a place of expansion + prosperity + abundance vs lack and reaction.Why you MUST Cultivate THIS before ANYTHING else… Conscious CONNECTION starts hereThe Power of IMAGINATIONIdentifying your true DESIRES at a soul level.Making current decisions from a place of POWER, not FEAR.TRUST in the new processSo much more! Conscious Co-Creation moves you away from a place of PRESSURE, Control and constant WORK  into a PLACE of Possibility, Ease and PLAY.

How we navigate GROWTH PAINS and seasons of CHANGE as a coupleIn today’s episode, we are talking about NAVIGATING the resistance that comes up inside our relationships, especially as we are moving into NEW and uncharted territories together.This can look like many things.Launching into New CareersMoving to New Environments + Home BasesNew Adventures Calling usNew Visions over our Life's Work Maybe ALL are happening at the same time!It’s IN these moments of transition, that SO many things come up for us as we are being STRETCHED as individuals, as a couple.Before we know it, we might be experiencing:Frustrating Communication (or lack of it)More Misunderstandings than we are used toDoubts + Fears + Insecurities popping upA Lack of Clarity on where we are and where we are goingImpatience + Irritations + JudgmentWe may be wondering WHAT on earth is going on here?!In today's episode I share our own personal call to adventure right now, where God is leading Mark and I in this season AND the “Stuff” that has been coming up in the process!Yes, I am human and yes I absolutely get impatient, tired, cranky, overwhelmed and exhausted at times. The UNKNOWN is not always fun and does not feel good most of the time:) and yet it’s WHAT I am created for! I THRIVE in these spaces and new levels of depth = new levels of RICHNESS in our life.Today we UNPACKThe great UNKNOWN - Call to AdventureWhat comes to the surface when the plates are SHIFTING and things are re-aligning in our livesWhat is ALL this tension about anyway? What NEEDS are we seeking to get met?How I addressed my frustrations, found my center and got back into integrity + FLOWStretching into the NEXT Level of Trust To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/
